Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

When Li Chengqian chatted with Yang Cheng before, he roughly knew the distribution of the surrounding counties.

The largest city nearby is Mancheng. There must be a lot of supplies in the city, including food that is in short supply in the base.

"Everyone, we still have one day left, shall we continue?"

Li Shimin tasted the sweetness and said: "Of course, tell me, where are we going?"

"Go to Mancheng and grab food..."

On the other side, Yang Cheng hurried and finally arrived in Wei County before the Japanese reinforcements.

Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, Zhang Erpi and his companions hid in the dark and killed the two Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate.

As for those on the city walls, they don't care.

There are only a few dozen Japanese soldiers in the city now. As long as we can open the city gate and let the Eighth Route Army enter the city, it will be a victory!

As the city gate slowly opened, the Japanese soldiers on guard on the city wall finally noticed the movement.

But they were already very nervous and didn't dare to go down, because going down would mean committing suicide.

They could only blow the horn to notify their companions in the city to come for support.

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army soldiers hiding in the darkness suddenly launched a charge.

"It's over. It's all over..."

Several Japanese soldiers on the top of the city wall collapsed to the ground instantly, unable to react.

Yang Cheng led the Eighth Route Army soldiers and rushed into the city quickly. Zhang Erpi briefly described the situation in the city.

"Xiao Li and the others all died in the battle?"

Zhang Erpizi sighed, "They are all dead. Now is not the time to talk about this. Hurry up and deliver the weapons. The Japanese reinforcements will probably arrive soon."

Yang Cheng clenched his fists and said, "You are right. We cannot let the weapons they sacrificed for go to waste."

"Xiao Zhao, tell the villagers to hurry up and move!" Yang Cheng looked at a guard and said.

Only then did Zhang Erpi discover that there was a group of guerrillas following the Eighth Route Army.

They pushed wheelbarrows, drove ox carts, horse carts, and some even carried loads on their shoulders.

There were also the Japanese military vehicles that Yang Cheng had seized before, and all the usable means of transportation were here.

Yang Cheng handed the task of transporting the weapons to Zhang Erpi, and led his men to the Japanese headquarters to eliminate these last beasts.

As the Eighth Route Army entered the city, the people who had not gone to help with the transportation all opened their doors and windows and joined the transporting army.

Including female compatriots in comfort stations, they also went to help.

Almost all the people who could move in the city went out to help the Eighth Route Army transport usable supplies.

"Sir, I want to join the army. Are you still hiring?"

A young man bravely asked an Eighth Route Army soldier.

In his heart, soldiers are the bosses who can act recklessly.

No one can be blamed for this inherent impression; it is the prejudice that has accumulated over decades in modern times.

Or in other words, this inherent impression was the fact before the Red Army appeared.

"Those who are willing to join the army can come with us later. Now, all of you go and move the supplies."

"It's OK, it's OK, everyone. The military is recruiting soldiers. Anyone who is willing can help quickly..."

Yang Cheng took down the Japanese command post without any effort, and also found the bodies of Li Chengqian and others who died in the battle.

Only the upper half of Li Chengqian's body was left, his face still showing the angry expression before his death, his eyes wide open with anger.

Yang Cheng walked forward, closed his eyes, stood up straight, straightened his clothes, and saluted!

"Captain, we have discovered the enemy's mopping-up march plan. Our base will be their next target."

A soldier came up to Yang Cheng with a stack of combat command drawings.

Yang Cheng snatched the plan and looked through it quickly, thinking to himself that this was a close call.

If he hadn't met Li Chengqian and his men this time, he would probably have been killed by the Japanese.

"How is the weapons transportation going?" Yang Cheng asked.

"We are still loading. There are too many. We may not be able to transport them all. And we still have three tanks that no one knows how to drive."

"If we can't move it, we'll blow it up. We can't leave it to the devil."

"Yes~"

With the participation of people from all over the city, the transportation tools brought by Yang Cheng were soon filled up.

After he distributed the food he could not take away to the people, he wanted to blow up the armory, but was stopped by the old man who had talked to Li Chengqian before.

"Sir, we can't stay in Wei County any longer. The devils will definitely take revenge on our fellow villagers when they come back. Please take us away as well."

Yang Cheng looked at the old man and said, "Life in the base is very hard. Are you sure?"

The old man turned around and looked at the people: "Are you willing?"

"willing!!"

Seeing this, Yang Cheng didn't say any more nonsense.

After the large-scale mop-up, the population near the base declined, the land became barren, and the supply of soldiers was exhausted.

Population is the most valuable resource.

It would be great if the people were willing to follow the Eighth Route Army.

But with these people, the marching speed would be slowed down, so he had to arrange some troops to stay behind to block the Japanese reinforcements coming to support him.

"Let Zhai Rang come to see me."

Not long after, Zhai Rang came running over, panting.

"Captain Yang, you're looking for me."

"You must evacuate the villagers quickly. Blow up or burn anything you cannot take away. Once you are done, evacuate immediately."

"how about you?"

Yang Cheng lit a cigarette and said, "I will lead a hundred soldiers to cover our retreat."

"No, you are the backbone of the landlord. I will be the one to stay behind."

Upon seeing this, Yang Cheng immediately said seriously: "This is an order, follow it."

Upon seeing this, Zhai Rang saluted and said, "Yes!"

On the other side, Li Chengqian led his men directly to the armory in the city.

Looking at the half-empty arsenal, he knew that the Japanese reinforcements had already set out.

Fortunately, there are still 15 military trucks and a large number of ammunition left here.

"Lao Hou, take your men to kill the guards outside. Be careful not to make any noise. Check the surrounding situation while you are at it. Everyone else, arm yourself quickly."

Hou Junji left with six original guards. They had no guns, so if they wanted to avoid alerting the devils, they had no choice but to assassinate them! !

Li Chengqian was worried about the arms in the warehouse.

There were only 15 trucks and it was impossible to load all the goods.

However, the weapons obtained by the Eighth Route Army in Weixian should be enough to equip a reorganized regiment. The next most important thing is the supply of ammunition.

"As long as we can load the bullets and shells, we can load as many as we can."

Not long after, Hou Junji returned with six guards.

"Your Highness, the Japanese guards outside have been killed. I also found a granary next door with a lot of food."

"food....."

Li Chengqian quickly changed the order: "Leave 10 trucks to load grain. Those who can drive, follow me to the granary."

While he was busy loading the trucks, the Wei County transport team also quickly left the city under the escort of the guerrillas.

Yang Cheng led a hundred fully armed Eighth Route Army soldiers to set up an ambush on the road from Mancheng to Weixian to buy time for the people to evacuate.

It was already late at night. Between Mancheng and Weixian, a Japanese convoy was rushing towards Weixian at high speed.

On one side were Yang Cheng's troops setting an ambush, on the other side were Li Chengqian's troops working hard to help with the transportation, and in the middle were the Japanese reinforcements who were busy on their way.

The three parties were all busy with their own things and were unaware of the specific movements of the other two parties.
